    That is something that doesn't belong on this thread, I didn't buy it first.

    First cd I ever owned was Queen Greatest Hits. Got it as a present for my 12th birthday from my grandparents along with my first discman.

    The first tape I ever owned was Sgt. Pepper which I got for my 7th or 8 birthday along with my first walkman from my parents.

    I have no idea, it was back in 87 or 88 I think and I bought several, but I remember my first album, it was The Steve Miller Band's "Fly Like An Eagle" back in 76 or 77, whenever it came out.

    I've been into U2 and R.E.M. snce I was in elementary school (late 1980's) and had tapes of them. But, when I was 14 my uncle bought me a cd player as a belated birthday gift (it had been like 8 months prior). A few weeks later my dad said "You've had that cd player for a while but nothing to play on it, let's get you a cd." So, we went to the store and I couldn't decide what to get so I picked up "Ten." I didn't know Pearl Jam, but knew that everyone at school who liked the same music as me raved about them. So we got home and I popped it in......AND HATED IT. I had no idea they were so loud. And what the hell was this Eddie guy so angry about?

    My heart literally sank when I went into the living room later and my dad asked me "How's the new cd, bud?" I kind of stumbled and said "It's ok dad, I need to listen to it a little more."

    Boy, am I glad I did. After a few listenings, "Black," "Porch," and "Jeremy" became my favorites and soon after I loved the whole cd. And an obsession was born. To this day, not so much the music, but the liner notes from "Ten" make me think of 8th grade.


    A funny side note. When we were at the store that fatefeul night, I was trying to pick between "Ten" and, get this, Genesis "We Can't Dance." I thought "I Can't Dance" was actually a kind of clever song. I'm glad I went with "Ten" though.

    I wonder if I had gone with Genesis if today I'd have 50+ Genesis / Phil Collins cd's. Or if I'd have gone to see THEM umpteen times and if Pearl Jam would be kind of a sidenote in my mind.

    Nah..

    nice! mine also. It was the start of replacing my vinyl collection (Appetite was the only one I kept). Of course I also have to admit to picking up Faster Pussycat's debut at the same time.....though I still bust that out from time to time :)

    Excellent album...

    My first CD was a compilation that was done for the X Games featuring songs by Mudhoney, Wilco, Dinasaur Jr., and some other less memorable bands. That was given to me as a birthday present.

    The first CD I bought for myself was 16 Stone by Bush.
